Codec Issue

[Teac23]

Hello

The person i did the disc for reckons he cannot play the disc as a DviX video disc on his BRplayer or PS3.

I made up a DVD full of AVI files, via ImgBurn write files/folders to disc, AVI file root directory going to assume it's a DviX video disc.

If the AVI codec is automatically encoded to DviX codec through this process making it a DviX video disc? why wont it play as one?


Can anyone recommend a software that will identity a video file's codec?

Thanks

What this is telling you is NOT that it was converting your clips to Divx format while burning the disc, which is what it seems you were assuming. No, it was telling you that it understood that, while not properly DVD-Video compliant enough to burn as a standard DVD-Video disc, it did recognize that those files were a bunch of seeming videos, and it was offering to burn a standard data DVD disc.

ImgBurn cannot convert files, period. And it doesn't actually peer into the file(s) to see what it is/they are.
It just makes assumptions based on the file extension.

Use MediaInfo to get an accurate read on your video files' contents. And then make use of one of the many good conversion apps available here to get it to the target format that you really want, whether that is DVD-Video, or Divx video files on a data disc, or whatever.

The way the files were burned was just a disc file system adjustment,nothing to do with encoding,If the ps3 can't play the divx files then they were encoded incorrectly or with features the ps3 can't handles.

Thanks for your help/replies much appreciated.

Thanks Scott for MediaInfo recommendation.

Note that MediaInfo doesn't scan the whole contents, it just reads the headers, so the info is only accurate when the file is truthful, properly written, and not in conflict with itself. Faked, corrupted, and non-standard files will confuse & misdirect it.
It is not a verifier - those are rare and $$$.
